What Is DHA Margalla Enclave?
DHA Margalla Enclave and Margalla Enclave Islamabad are the same project. It is a joint venture between two government-linked bodies:
- CDA is the land-owning partner and announced the project on its official website.
- DHA Islamabad-Rawalpindi develops and runs the project, and publishes official information and ballot results.
The CDA Chairman described the project as the start of long-term cooperation between CDA and DHA to reduce the housing shortage in Islamabad. For buyers, this matters because announcements, ballot records and notices all come from official CDA and DHA channels. You can check them yourself before you commit any money.
Where Is Margalla Enclave Islamabad Located?
Margalla Enclave Islamabad sits in Zone IV, on the lower slopes of the Margalla Hills and right beside the Margalla Botanical Garden, which CDA and DHA plan to improve together. You reach the project through link roads from Park Road and Srinagar Highway.
To improve access, CDA built a Park Road underpass, which opened to traffic in September 2026. It gives a signal-free route through this stretch of Park Road. Work on the surrounding roads may still be going on, so check live traffic before a site visit.
